I am attempting to migrate existing workloads in vCloud Director 6.0.1 to vRA 7.2. The workflow I'm going to use is as follows:
1. Shutdown each vm
2. Shutdown the vApp
3. Remove all snapshots
4. Consolidate disks
5. Make a backup of the original .vmx file for each vm.
6. Update the virtual machine config to remove the value for cloud.uuid and update the value for displayName to be the hostname minus the vCD uuid. This is ok to do in our environment, as there are no duplicate hostnames in use.
7. Unregister the vm from vCenter
8. Create a new folder and vmx file and move the virtual disk(s) to this new folder.
9. Register the new vmx (keep the UUID)
10. Rename the vCAC vm entity to match the name in vCenter
11. Run the vCAC plugin work flow named "Import vCenter Virtual Machine"
12. Delete the vCD vApp
Step 11 is where I am running into problems.. I've been through the documentation, and run through a number of Google searches... nada.
I wonder if anyone has the Blueprint configuration required to import a vCenter VM into vRA 7.2?
Thank you in advance,
Roger the flummoxed
